Pop star Rosemary Clooney began recording for the jazz label Concord in 1977 and had a great run with them for the rest of her life (she died in 2002). This 1998 collection features lyrical accompaniments by tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton and cornetist Warren Vachť and a diverse selection of 16 songs, including "I Cried for You," "I'll Be Seeing You," "Fascinating Rhythm," "My Romance," "The Coffee Song," "Hello, Young Lovers," "The Summer Knows," "White Christmas," "Sophisticated Lady," "Like Someone in Love," and "God Bless the Child."

"Clooney is not a singing actress, like many of the great American popular singers, although no one has classier diction and the words of the songs obviously mean a great deal to her. But she makes her effects through purely musical meansóthrough rhythm, phrasing, and real beauty of tone, a quality that has become so rare in popular song that you never really expect to hear it anymore. She has a pretty voice, a little lower-slung than it used to be, but still easy, steady, clear and honey-sweet; she never forces a tone. Her phrasing is jazz inflected and varied with great art."óBoston Globe
